Picente:
Flags at Half-Staff to Honor William Bellinger
Oneida County Executive Anthony J.
Picente, Jr., today announced that the flags at
Oneida
County
’s buildings will be lowered to half staff in honor of William Bellinger,
a long-time Oneida County Legislator and a former chairman of the Oneida
County Board of Legislators who died last week.
“William Bellinger gave many years of service to the people of
Oneida
County
through the tremendous leadership he showed as the Chairman of the Oneida
County Board of Legislators and the very concerned, committed representation
he provided to his Westmoreland district,” Picente said. “Bill Bellinger
helped to make
County
Government
better able to serve the people of this area by ensuring that the business
of the Board of Legislators was conducted in a professional, public manner
that helped bring added respect to
County
Government
and its work. He was a great gentleman and an outstanding public servant. By
lowering the flags we are showing a dedicated public and community servant
the type of respect he deserves – and the same respect he always showed to
members of the Board and the public.”
